White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami, removed in the third inning of Chicago's game against the Detroit Tigers on Friday after tweaking his right hamstring, will undergo imaging on Saturday.
The 26-year-old rookie, who shares the American League homer lead with Houston's Yordan Alvarez, each with 20, grabbed at his hamstring after hustling down the first base line to avoid a 4-6-3 double play.
Murakami walked slowly back to the dugout without needing assistance.
After the White Sox's 4-3, 10-inning win, Chicago manager Will Venable said, 'Looks like a little hamstring strain on the initial evaluation. He'll get some imaging tomorrow, but probably a couple weeks (on the injured list is the expectation). Nothing official, got to continue the evaluation. But it might be a couple weeks.'
Luisangel Acuna ran for Murakami and scored on Miguel Vargas' double. In the top of the fourth, Vargas moved from third to first, Acuna took over at short and Colson Montgomery slid from short to third. Montgomery stayed in the game despite tweaking his lower back while popping out to close the third inning.
Murakami has been a revelation for a White Sox squad that sits in second place in the American League Central. The first baseman has appeared in all 57 games and delivered a .240/.378/.560 slash line with 41 RBIs and 44 walks.
